Rosetta’s Galaxy Project Editor in SF Signal
Barry Malzberg, editor of RosettaBooks’ collection of 23 new e-books drawn from the classic and celebrated ‘50s science fiction magazine Galaxy, was interviewed recently in SF Signal. Malzberg's Beyond Apollo won the first John W. Campbell Memorial Award for the best science-fiction novel of the year in 1973; he is also a two-time LOCUS Award winner whose works have been final-listed for the Nebula and Hugo awards.
In the interview, Barry said, “Galaxy was the best-written magazine of its time, maybe any time. As Fred Pohl, one of those writers, noted later, ‘Galaxy was perhaps the only medium in Joseph McCarthy's United States where the truth could be told.’ The great Galaxy stories were science fiction, of course, but they were also careful and sometimes audacious simulacra of the culture from which they came.” The first Galaxy editions from RosettaBooks include fiction by Robert Heinlein, Frederik Pohl, C.M. Kornbluth, Lester del Rey, Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut among others.
